Reviews of Minsyuku Koshiyama 2 stars

We loved the old facilities. They prove that everything does not have to be so new to be enjoyable.

Best staff and houseowners, really nice people.

We stayed for 1 night. The place is clean, well-maintained, and quiet. Ofc, the staff were wonderful. They also have restaurant and the food was good. Good for a short stay in Shirakawa-go.

Nothing.

Mr Koshiyama and staff were very hospitable, helpful and friendly. It was great to be invited to join them for drinks in the evening.

Shared bathroom and toilet at different floor

Wonderful location. The warmth of the owner and his wife made the stay more special. Their restaurant closes at 6pm, but they served us dinner at 8pm as we had no place to eat , as all other restaurants were closed. Went all their to make special vegetarian meal for us, we really appreciated that. Plus gave us a ride to the town. We even enjoyed beer and sake on the house with him. Lovely people and welcoming.

The bathroom and shower were clean. Spacious shower and dorm. Air conditioned. Could walk to the village easily and near the bus station

The side of the bed has a plank which made it really difficult to get in and out of the bed. That was the most uncomfortable.

The location and the staff were very nice

It is very cold in the common areas and the bathroom.

This homestay was a gem about 10mins walk from the Shirakawago bus station. Opposite has a convenience store which was great. The owner Mr Sada and his wife were very hospitable, kind and very considerate. My shoes were soaked after walking in the rain and they warmed them up with a shoe warmer over the night. We had a delicious dinner - Hida beef set which was super tender. Mr Sada was very kind to offer us to have a drink with him after dinner. We had a lovely time chatting with another guest joined in too. We were very happy to stay a night in this cosy homestay in Shirakawago.

The shower rooms and toilets are shared on the ground floor. So if you need to use them at night, it could be a little inconvenient. And we could hear the footsteps when people walked passed our room. But it is alright as this is an wooden house.

The owner was fantastic

Quietness, fresh air and located opposite a convenience store.

The room does not have an ensuite bathroom. The bathroom is on another floor and it is very inconvenient especially in the middle of the night. The corridors are not heated and it is very cold after a shower walking back to my room. Apart from bath towels, there is no disposable toiletries. The location of this resthouse is quite a walking distance to the bus terminal and the thatched roof houses

It's what you expect from a shared guest house, clean, they were friendly. It's comfortable too, we were allowed to eat our own food in the restaurant area. They had a map of the town with little notes to tell you the best places to visit. They also recommended places where you can eat around town which was helpful.

The location was good the staff were happy, informative and kind. It was raining when we left and the manager gave us a lift in his car to the station very kind.

The bedrooms could do with refurbishment.

Super cute historic building! We had sunlight-filled Japan style tatami mat room. The hostess was very friendly with excellent English. The restroom was spacious and clean. The hours of the in-house resturant were a bit limited but we made good use of the store across the street and others in town to supply all our needs after our very excellent 17:30 meal there. We got lucky and our room was ready when we arrived at 12:00 and we could leave all our things. We then enjoyed walking around the village until it was time for dinner.
